Yousafzai

The Yūsufzai (Pashto: يوسفزی‎Yūsufzay, plur. يوسفزي Yūsufzī; Urdu/Persian: یوسف زئی‎), also called Yousafzai, Esapzay or Yūsufī is one of the Sarbani Pashtun tribes. They are found in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan, and in some eastern parts of Afghanistan. Pashtun tribal confederacies in Pakistan and Afghanistan are shown in the picture.

Malala Yousafzai – who survived an Oct. 9, 2012, assassination attempt by the Taliban in Pakistan, where she was targeted for voicing her options about women’s rights and education — became the world’s youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner last Friday, and she shared her reaction on the Malala Fund Facebook page.
